Itkila means a powerful fragrance and has its origins in Kannada and Tamil. We believe in making art in any form accessible to those who appreciate it. To quote Pablo Picasso "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life of our souls". Itkila aims at providing a refreshing perspective to the way we look at art and we do this by amalgamating a piece of art with the décor or the concept of any space.

The New Year Calendar
Happy Ugadi, Gudi Padva, Cheti Chand, Baisakhi, Puthandu and Sajibu Cheiraoba!!!!!
The Indian New Year marks the beginning of a 'new era'. The lunisolar calendar begins on 'Chaitra Shudha Padayami' or the first day of the bright half of the Indian month of Chaitra. The start of the New Year is based on lunar calculations. It starts on the first new moon after Sun crosses the equator from South to North on Spring Equinox.
These colouful 'lunisolar' calendars' are unlike the
typical Gregorian one. They are made up of unique properties.The day starts
at sunrise and each month is divided in to two sets to depict the cycle of the
moon from the new moon till the full moon. The end of the lunar month coincides
with a new moon. Hence there is no running number from the first to the last
day of the month. The script is Devnagari and Kannada and is an ideal gift for the Indian
New Year. Place your order today!! They are also available on www.itshandmade.in

Itkila: Canvas wall coverings
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls”. – Pablo Picasso
Itkila is a tiny company dedicated to promoting art in unique ways.The word 'itkila' means a powerful fragrance and has its origins in Kannada and Tamil.
Countless cups of chai and brainstorming sessions led us to some unique concepts. Our basic objective is to provide a refreshing perspective to the way we perceive 'art'.
![]() |
| through the looking glass |
Most
of us look at walls and ceilings as structures that protect us from the forces
of nature and provide us with a sense of security. But imagine an entire wall
covered with a painting. Or say a
stunning image of the sky, through a web of leaves on your ceiling.
Project Ida by ITKILA offers you custom made artwork that can transform your living space into a true
expression of your personality. The
purpose is to let your wall or ceiling act as a “canvas” on which we create a
unique piece of art. Unlike
ordinary wall or ceiling papers we use canvas sheets. These are easy to install
and maintain. Besides, our canvas sheets
can cover a larger surface area, of up to 10 feet width without a single joint!
The
possibilities are endless and we want you to choose and personalize your space,
that’s our mantra!

explore and express this passion. Her art called her strongly enough that she
decided to quit her job at WIPRO.

Aesthetic Sanctity is her first public presentation. These resulted from
multiple visits to several Hoysala temples in Karnataka. Emphasizing details
and the interplay of light and shadow Vidya has created that which captivated
her in those monuments to Hoysala ingenuity.
